That seems about right.

Thanks for the update, Eric!

Hey, thanks for this!

Boards and Brews in Manchester is a lot of fun and surprisingly social, they have a bar, coffee, food, and board games

If you like the nerdier side of things, there's Boards and Brews in Manchester. There's a group that meets there every Tuesday to play board games, have a bite to eat/something to drink and socialize and hang out together for a few hours. Most folks typically show up between 5-6pm.

It's a very low pressure environment with some truly awesome people! I've been going to the meetup group for three years (COVID excepting) and met so many people in Manchester this way!

A good question! The rationale for both is as follows:

1. Littleton: strong ESE winds Saturday morning will downslope over the Kinsman-Cannon & Franconia Range spines. Downsloping winds dry & warm the air locally downrange of this action, or locations immediately to the NW of Sugar Hill.
2. Nashua: The depression there is for the potential for sub-par thermal profiles dramatically lowering snow ratios, with multiple windows where wet snow changes to sleet.

The new Spyglass brewery is pretty nice. It’s been really crowded since it opened though.

Thanks, CloudBoy for taking the time to post such detailed information and maps. It's much appreciated.

This 1,000%, go look at any website and/or advertisement from a big company. Watch a car company ad, that's probably the most obvious & readily accessible example!

He’s not wrong the “weather people “ on TV are utter shit and dumb down the forecast for the lowest common denominator so they can squeeze in more ad time. Weather apps are also shit and sadly too many people rely on an icon on their phone to plan for what could be life threatening storms. I appreciate the rationale behind his forecasting.

For example the line of lower wind/snow that seems to stretch from Nashua through concord to Littleton right up the center of the state, why are these totals seemingly lower? Also curious

Fellow professionals is one way of putting it, competitors is another. Plenty of companies model on how they are better. What are you on about?

This is Reddit. My critique above is within the normal bounds of what a) I usually give and b) what others in my field typically do. The forecasts circulating are lazily drawn and need to look better, period. End of story. I'm here to provide useful weather info, not get into arguments on the degree of professionalism I should adhere to on Reddit, sorry.

An important maxim of professionalism: you don't insult your fellow professionals or their work. You offer criticism, but you do so with respect.

Depends on what kind of crowd you’re looking for. Karaoke nights at The Farm or Hop Knot (Manchester) have a decent amount of people, usually a 20-30s crowd. Shaskeen has some fun events. Soho and The Goat have a younger crowd, as well as 603 Bar and Grille, go at your own risk lol. There’s a group on Facebook for women in NH looking to make friends and the members host events all over NH, it’s called NH Ladies Making Friends.

I’m down to bar hop in Manchester if you’re a similar age (I’m 27)

1. It's completely fair to explain right off the top that there's a host of junk being shot around, especially given I don't want to have to answer 5 questions that ask "why does yours have 6"+ more/less than "x" station's map".
2. I'd want someone to openly destroy my map if it looked like flaming garbage, had noticeable inaccuracies, and I was being paid lots of money to provide better forecasts. It's irrefutable that what's circulating today is lazily drawn, the public deserves better and that's in part why I do this. Just one example: I've seen three different forecasts show 8"+ for the central Monadnock Region. That's lazy.

>I'm still really blown away by the lack of clarity in the swarm of lazily drawn snow forecast maps out today, compare mine and the difference will be stark.

Why do you feel the need to include shit like this? It makes you sound incredibly unprofessional.

Just went to stock up on the beer after CloudBoys forecast

Down in Newmarket, there's a pretty solid night life. The Stone Church is usually hoppin, lots of regulars. Some great restaurants all in walking distance too.

Your teacher used to hand your test back face down didn't they?

I haven't been on it in forever but I used to use the website meetup and met a lot of my good friends through that. Facebook probably has something similar.

Plow Guys and Fire Departments are not going to get any sleep that's for sure. Thank you for your weather forecasting Mr. CloudBoy!

Depends what you’re looking for
